Our Fate Under Stars

Chapter Two

Ariana's P.O.V:

"Ari! Ari! come on let's go!" 10 year old Hayden was calling out for me from his bedroom window. We've known each other since before we could even walk, when his family moved into the house next door both him (and his sister of course) and i were only few months old.

I climb out my bedroom window and run down waiting for little Hayden. When he catches up to me, he holds my hand and we go around, then behind his house down to the beach and from there we get into the grass playground field.

We lay on the grass and stare into the night sky. "Hey Riri, what do you think stars are made of?" Hayden asks almost in a whisper. "I don't know Haydy maybe they are big balls of fire?" he turns towards me "You're very very smart Riri" we spend the night making fun of each other and giggling, until our parents came back and took us home.

They kept talking to us about the fact that we shouldn't sneak out at night but we knew that if we'd asked to go out they'd refuse so we used to do that almost every Saturday and until this day we still go to our spot under the stars and talk.

Hayden's P.O.V:

The guys and i are staying at Ari's, she was pretty quiet tonight i guess it's just her way of grieving after her breakup? I will, most probably, never understand her way of thinking things through but then again it's what makes her special.

Due to a bit of awkwardness and Ari's silence we decided to sleep early, it was around 10:23pm when we did and it's currently 12:03am. I get up to grab a glass of water and notice that Ariana wasn't in bed, and i think i have an idea of where she could be.

"Hey" i see her just lying there, i can tell she's hurt, because that shimmer she used to have in her eyes while looking at the stars isn't there. She stays quiet, so i go over and lie next to her. "Hey Ari, what do you think the stars are made of?" She let's out a long sigh "I don't know, maybe they're some big balls of fire?" i see that smile at the corner of her lip the moment she recalls the memories we've had in this exact same spot.

"Why is it that there's always something, that you care about dearly , it ends up disappearing... Poof, just like that, gone." I'm kind of shocked by her question but she does have a point there, i never really thought of it that way.

"I don't know Ari,It's just how life works, but you see, i believe everything happens for a reason." she frowns slightly and closes her eyes "One year Hayden , i wasted over one year of my life..."

It makes me sad seeing her like that, i'm just not used to it, she's always so smiley and happy,the sight of her frowning.. and knowing her heart is breaking is enough for me to want to hug her and never let her go ." She sits up and puts her legs close to her chest, that's when i see a tear slip from her eyes. She's crying. My heart shattered at the sight of her tear- I move over next to her and wrap my arms around her, pilling her as close as i possibly could.

Ariana's P.O.V:

Hayden never left my side, and i mean never. No matter where i am,at any time, he's there. Once i let few tears slip down my cheek as i fail on holding them back a while longer, Hayden moves closer and wraps his arms around me, providing me warmth and comfort.

Damn he smells good. Hayden and i hug almost all the time, but this time it's different, i guess maybe 'cause it's cold and about to rain and i just feel warm and cozy? i don't know but i'm more than grateful to have him by my side.

Hayden and i walk back to my place as soon as few drops of water hit our heads, he never let go of my hand not even when we walked into the house.

In the kitchen, i watched him work his magic into making us some hot chocolate, i could tell he felt my gaze on him because every once in a while i'd catch him trying to get a glimpse of my sight. The silence -besides the noise of the utensils- wasn't awkward but it wasn't comfortable either, i don't know what the hell it was, i can't even tell if it's a good or bad sign.

Hayden's P.O.V:

I could tell Ariana was watching me, and by the silence that's roaming in the air i can tell she was thinking really hard. She's not an open book, but she's not unpredictable either, you could just say she's in between.

"fuck" i groaned as the hot water dripped on my hand while i was in the middle of pouring it into the cup. "Dumbass" i heard Ariana giggle behind me, i turned around and handed her her drink.

None of us could sleep so we sat on the couch and talked for what felt like hours...Until the darkness of the night started slowly fading away into the light of a new born ray of sun.
